chrysler industrial L6

[ray w.]

So I have an industrial 5A on an irrigation pump. Does anyone know if parts are interchangeable with regular flathead 6's, namely timing gears and chain and water pump.

Can you put up some pictures?

Preferably a pic of the ID pad on the engine.  Those numbers will tell all.

Chrysler Industrial Models 5 & 5A are basically Plymouth engines: Bore 3 1/4 with Stroke 4 3/8 or 217.8 cid.

The nice part of Chrysler engines is that they were both (23 & 25 inch )designed by the same team of engineers.

Their mandate was to save money while giving the customer value.

So most things like pumps (oil & water) Timing Chains will interchange and some require a bit of machining (4 bolt vs 8 bolt flywheels).

Bearings and other things will differ.

So before you order you should check an interchange book.

 

I could not determine the difference between a Model 5 and a 5A

However, when used in forklift trucks the engines have Gears instead of Timing Chains. The gear driven camshafts turn backwards and require a different cam and oil pump gear (such as a Melling M37 for Timing Chain engines and a Melling M37R for Gear Driven cams). The purpose of the gears is to turn the hydraulic pump that Forklifts have.

I can try, right now engine is on its side with pump housings hiding most views, I'm attempting to replace crank and rod bearings in frame! engine looks identical to any mopar flathead 6  I've seen.  I do have all the model , type, serial #s block stamp #s etc... it's 1952 218 ci.  one would probably have had to worked on industrial type and regular type to know differences, I have not. Just thought I'd cast about for any knowledge on industrials.

Found this.  There are two other articles linked in this page.
